I love the dance
Where I learn to breathe
For me
Every stillness breaks open
Every silence learns to move
The flowers fall from their own weight
Soft with surrender
And in the falling
They remember
How to return
Nothing stays
As it was
Nothing is lost
To the body
I am the dance
Where all things die
Only to be reborn
I am the dance
Where the body remembers
What the soul forgot
For me
The world loosens its grip
For me
Time bends at the knees
Every breath becomes an opening
Every ache a doorway
The flowers must fall
Yes
But they fall in rhythm
They fall in trust
To move
Is to forgive time
To move
Is to begin again
I am the dance
Where all things fade
Only to return
I am the dance
Where endings bloom
Into motion
Let the body speak
In curves and pulses
Let it confess
What language cannot hold
I am the dance
The place where dying
Becomes devotion
I am the dance
And everything
Is reborn in motion
For me
For me
For me
I am the dance
